Folks, it looks like we may get a little rain tonight into the morning but it will not be enough. The 7 day forecast looks pretty dry, and with the wind we have been having everything is dried up. April is historically peak brush fire season. Do not do any outside burning right now. You may think you can watch it and keep it contained but you can’t. I have heard over and over at brush fires someone tell me “I didn’t think it would go anywhere.” It will. Then DCNR gets called and you could be looking at fines if leaves your property and costs for equipment to come put it out.
Don’t be that guy. The brush pile and burn barrel can wait.
